for adjusting the brightness of the monitor by pressing the MENU button for
at least 1 second.
What is the camera focusing on?
i A target mark & on the monitor
shows the area the camera is
focusing on.
i The camera automatically
determines the correct focus by
measuring from 9 different focus
points within the shooting area. If the
target mark is at a position that is
different from the point you wish to
focus on, you can refocus, for
example, by changing the shooting
angle.
i The large target mark appears when
the camera focuses on a wide area
in the center of the screen.
The focus and exposure can be locked (NORMAL mode)
i By assigning an operation shortcut to the SET button (pages 126 and
130), you can set the autofocus or the exposure to a fixed setting. When
the exposure setting is fixed, the P icon appears on the monitor; when
the autofocus setting is fixed, the p icon appears on the monitor.
i When the focus range (pages 50 and 90) setting or scene select setting is
changed, the focus lock is released.
The shutter speed and aperture are displayed (NORMAL mode)

Screen. You can use them as a reference when shooting.
If the camera shake icon > appears... (NORMAL mode)
i During still image shooting, if the shutter speed is slow and the possibility
that the image may be blurred due to camera shake becomes high, the
camera shake icon may appear on the monitor. In this case, use a tripod to
stabilize the camera when shooting, or set the flash operation mode to
automatic (pages 46 and 66).
